With continuing technological advances in the transport, communications and manufacturing sectors, the world economy is becoming increasingly more integrated every day. This can be seen in the effect of the current capitalist crisis on workers around the world. We call this a ‘brutal race to the bottom’.

It can be done, it needs us to organise internationally.
